by Sarah Turnbull. Posted February 13, 2019

“It’s not all going to be big data, and it’s not all going to be public opinion the way it was in the past. We’re going to be mixing those things in order to have a very complex understanding of what citizens think.”

Host Aaron Reynolds gets a behind the scenes look at what goes into a poll from veteran Canadian pollster and Chair of Nanos Research, Nik Nanos. The two discuss how polling data is gathered, its accuracy, how it’s changing in a tech-based world, and predictions for 2019.
